Slavic-British mythology of my shadow-man.
Disclaimer. A collage of works released during the period of the first strong creative burnout in 2021. This is both an interpretation of my own worldview, an attempt at something new for myself, and the realization of creativity through collaborations with other artists.
The series has this name for a reason, it's really a shadow of me as a person, a shadow of my interests, like a shadow of my own life.
The first of series was a Fool for collaboration with @_Traust from the Russian community. Here, a scene from the Beatles video - Fool on the Hill, which greatly influenced my work. I attach the link: https://vk.com/iamtraust?z=album-180457786_276192231
https://0x405.ru/cards/ - a collaboration of Russian pixel art community about folk tales named "СказККИ" by @a0405u and @theodote_
Nav - or just restless souls, as well as a silhouette, eyes and an imprint of someone. And here we can already trace the influence of Slavic mythology, in particular the work of Ivan Bilibin. The second work in the series.
Card creation progress.
The reverse side of the card, a more distinct influence of Bilibin.
Here. Literally, this is homage to the Stalker by Тарковский. 4 colors, a hint of a sequel dictated through a Beatles song, fog and immersion in my Slavic British feeling.
There. A necessary sequel, and the attack of something, or the views of the crowd. 8 colors.
Everywhere. As a conclusion, and the connection of all motives together, again references to what leads me. 16 colors.
Card creation progress.
Nowhere Man. The silhouette of a woman, like a rebirth into something new and the end of the whole series. 28 colors.
An example of how the colors were selected.
It was a month-long challenge organized by @pixeljoint, the final stream with a discussion of the works of the selected authors of that event.
